Famil

I just made a family member angry.  She has an Indian doctor.  I voiced my feelings on this.  And those feelings are that there should be no Indians or any other nationality coming here, getting their degrees, and being allowed to stay.  In the first place, we pay for those educations and we should not be doing so.  Until every one of our own children are educated and in good jobs, we have no business putting out money and slots in college and medical schools for foreigners.  And this is the destination for Indians.  Bobby Jindal is a product of that education system.  His mother came here on a graduate fellowship when she was 8 months pregnant with him.  She came to give him citizenship.  I have a real problem with this.  I also have a real problem with H1-B visas.  No company should be able to get an employee on this visa until they can prove they have exhausted every avenue to hire a citizen.  It should take mounds of paperwork on their part.  Instead, they just issue a blanket statement that they cannot find qualified citizens to do the work and apply for the H1-B visa and force the employees they are firing to train these from India that don't even speak the language.

Back to my family argument.  Her doctor, she tells me, was born and raised in England, married a US citizen.  She wanted to return to the US so they came here.  He was educated in England and now practices medicine in the States.  I called bs.  I maintain he is here because he can make much more money here than in England.  The anger erupted.  No.  He is an upstanding person and would never do that.  Again I call bs.  I know some of those doctors from England.  They are here of the money.  Would I see any of them?  No.  Pure and simple, I want our own.  I want US citizens treating me.  I don't want someone who cannot speak my language.  I don't want some one who is here for what they can get.  I want my own.  If that is racist, so be it.  But I put our citizens above any foreigners, no matter where they come from.  They could walk here on water and I would feel the same.  We owe it to our own children to educate them, give them a comfortable lifestyle, before we pad the way for any foreigners.  My feelings.  We have so many children who have no home life, who are on drugs, who are mothers even though they themselves are still children.  They are our priority.  Not those coming into the country for what they can get.  They are not interested in being citizens of this country.  They are interested in getting what this country can offer.  And I think that for a child born here to be a citizen, at least one parent has to be a native citizen or a naturalized citizen.  Yes, I have a homophobic view.  I am watching our country being destroyed from within and I don't like it.  This is not what my father crawled through the jungles of the South Pacific for.

As to the family member that got angry, well she is always expressing her opinion. She is entitled to it. And I am entitled to mine. I have never hung up on her for expressing this opinion.  She always does me.  Now the ball is in her court.  I'm done.
